Good Read! June 21, 2008
Cam Hastings's life is falling apart. Her husband has moved out, leaving her to deal with the angst of their teenage daughter pretty much on her own. She's trying to quit drinking, which isn't an easy thing to do. And, oh yeah, she has a couple of secrets:. She has visions and she's pregnant.
Cam's childhood prepared her for none of this. Her older sister seemed to have trouble dealing with visions of her own and is now dead; a mother who walked out on her when she was young; and a free-spirit of a musician father whose drug and alcohol use often makes Cam more the parent to her father than the other way around.
Wendy Corsi Staub has been compared to Mary Higgins Clark for good reason. Even though you may begin to figure some things out fairly early in Dying Breath, you will be so drawn into the story, intrigued with the plot, the characters, and the fine details the author feathers in, your intrigue will keep you bolted to the book to its very satisfying conclusion.
If a novel had volume, Dying Breath would be almost too loud to bear at the end as it builds in intensity and conflict. This is one of those books that will keep you reading way past your bedtime.
This was my first book by Wendy Corsi Staub, and it won't be my last.
 Suspense June 8, 2008
As always, Corsi Staub's books keep you on the edge of your seat. You always think you know who did it and you're never right. She keeps a couple of suspenses going in the same book and you're hooked right away. I've never been disappointed in her books.
Great as usual!!!! June 8, 2008
I have bought everyone of her suspense books from the beginning, her latest is no exception. I loved it. I never figure out who the killer is and she keeps me on pins and needles. I love the psychic bent flowing through the story. The lead characters are highly sympathetic and endearing, you find yourself rooting for them. Very realistic in the sense that this kind of thing could happen to the least likely person. I would highly recommend!!
Great Read -- Jaw-Drop Ending June 2, 2008
This is the first WCS book I have ever read; this will make me seek out her other books. Almost to the very end where the killer's identity is revealed, I did not know who it was and was quite surprised. Usually, half way through a book I have this already figured out. This is a good read; will keep your interest. Recommended.
Good Read May 31, 2008
WCS is one of the best suspense authors around and this book is no exception. I'm even more intrigued by the upcoming sequel.
However, there were two things that kept me from giving it five stars:
1) Why do authors insist on using off-the-wall names for their characters? I found Cam/Camden so ridiculous for a character name that it actually distracted me from the story.
2) The killer's identity became obvious before it was meant to be. When trying to figure out who she could call to be with her during her crisis, there was only one person Cam could think of who would be available...and in the very next section, the killer (whose identity was still supposed to be unknown) received a call from her. That blew any suspense that was supposed to be left.
Looking forward to the sequel!
